Ingredients
- 3 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 0.25 cups Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized 2-inch chunks.
Step 2
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Step 3
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium, and allow the potatoes to simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to steam off excess moisture.
Step 5
Add the butter and cream cheese to the pot with the potatoes. Mash the potatoes using a masher or a potato ricer until smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Stir in the sour cream, milk, and ranch seasoning mix. Mix well until fully incorporated.

Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped chives, if desired.
